Currently on perspective at KP Assignments in Los Angeles, California is artist Jennybird Alcantara’s solo exhibition, “Minding the Beasts whilst Sharpening Pearls.”
Jennybird states of the exhibition, “This new system of paintings was born in a nevertheless instant in time, one particular exactly where the total entire world slowed down. Where my house, that we get in touch with “The Birdsnest,” and the backyard all around it turned my whole planet for a time.
Character normally informs my artwork, and I was fortunate adequate to appreciate that mother nature just outdoors my door, in the backyard of beautiful trees, vegetation and bouquets shared with squirrels and crows, song birds, bees and butterflies. At some point all through this inventive journey I experience like I packed up some of all those outside the house inspirations and dragged them into “The Birdsnest” with me and a dialog involving inside and exterior began.
I like to line my inside “nest” with curiosities and talismans, symbols, images, styles and handmade objects. Acquiring a good deal of visual information and facts evokes me. I like to established up tableaux in between objects within, so new associations and meanings can unfold prior to my eyes.
The evolution of “Minding the Beasts when Sprucing Pearls” transpired in the backdrop of my interior world when the exterior yard in which my creatures frequently dwell inserted itself, and a marriage of the two was formed.”
